Design the best possible gaming computer for me under 1400.
Would like
ssd drive
liquid cooling
quiet running
mainly for gaming

I do not need a monitor, keyboard, mouse

I do need an OS
I do need it to be built by a company I suck with building and I'd rather be safe than sorry

This is the best I could do on my own with admittedly not much knowledge

Dont get an SSD other than an 840 evo, m500, intel 520 or intel 730. There are a few other decent ones but those are the safest. No need to get an i7. Just OC the i5 with the h100i and youre set.
